Regrouting in Meadowbank, Edinburgh
Problem with your tiled areas in Meadowbank? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Good tiles let down by tired grout

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Parking in city streets around Meadowbank can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

About our regrouting in Meadowbank
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Meadowbank are handled the same careful way. Common call-outs are for cracked or crumbling grout lines and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, on shower walls, wet rooms and tiled floors.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Meadowbank, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Your questions about regrouting in Meadowbank
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Meadowbank leak into the flat below?
It can. Tenement floors are normally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Do you cover Meadowbank?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Meadowbank.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
We can. We will look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why deal with it now?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Meadowbank, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Meadowbank homes and their sealant
Meadowbank is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Duddingston Kirk, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like Mannafields Christian School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
